ended. All security measures have been updated and if you still notice
anything odd from my social media accounts, emails, or anything, let me
know. Luckily, the laptop that was taken was encrypted and required a

Thank you for the info Michael. I'll check out that website. I had a lack of common sense and I hadn't written down the serial number of the laptop. I remembered the exact model, the stickers on the screen/lid and the OS I use (kubuntu). Luckily it was in suspend and needed a password to get back i
Also recommend listing/checking:

nontrivial password there (as anywhere), but definitely don't
use that same password anywhere else).
In general, also good to always check there when
acquiring or pot
Sorry to hear abbout the Jeep & laptop.
And for all:
o on-disk encryption can be a *good* thing[1]
o backups[2]
o good to change passwords and other authentication tokens once
in a while - especially if one suspects they might possibly have
been compromised.
1. I've had darn near everything
